Re: Makeup artists update - Dubai

thanks for the info!!
do you know the name of the makeup artist at allenora in dubai? i'm wondering if they have artists here or do they fly the ones in pakistan down?

Re: Makeup artists update - Dubai

I got my wedding make up done with full wedding package from Mushkbaar and everybody loved my makeup and i was looking too good for myself too :)

Mushkbaar personnel even called me and said that they had customers who referred my pic and said want make up like mine

:->

her name as per facebook profile is Aliya Tipu.. but they don't do trial makeup.. which was like hmmm..

Aroushi is 1800 bucks for in-salon.. might go there to check out

Do you have number for mushkbar?
you got any photos from there?

Thanks!

Re: Makeup artists update - Dubai

u can call 181 local directory number and get the number from there :)

as far as pictures are concerned, I am sorry but I dont like to post my personal pix over the net

ohhh aliya tipu is main artist or owner i think, i hope she’s here, her makeup is FAB!

(see pic)

i didn’t ask for the MUA name.. forgot to do so.. but man 2500 bucks!!!
butyeah she is good!

will see if i got budget heheeh.. for now my budget s 1500 bucks..

mushkbar's makeup is as good as allenora? the photo attached? really want a nice makeup.
sorry being hesitant for mushkbar bcoz heard bad reviews about them

mushkbar has nice makeup, not something i would go for but we have our own taste...
i want the kim kardashian kind of smokey eyes, which is why I like Aliya Tipu, whereas mushkbar is more into colours and a very desi look,
i would recommend you go see mushqbar for a trial because i know alot of girls who are happy with her..

If you want smokey I recommend Zodiac, my friend looked STUNNING from them and she had smokey eyes.. you can take a picture and she'll copy the makeup for you..

btw Bina from Depilex is the hairstylist at Zodiac so she can do your hair the desi way too! the MUA just does makeup, Bina does the hair :)

Re: Makeup artists update - Dubai

It depends how YOU want ur makeup to be.... i have seen in Mushkbaar the very paindoo type pix and extra mod stytles too

Mine was exactly how i wanted it to be and absolutely NOT DESI!!!!

Re: Makeup artists update - Dubai

I don't have a typical desi face.. which means.. i got little chini eyes...and well I aint desi actually.. so i am scared and confused as to what might suit.. instead of me suggesting the MUA about kind of makeup..i want someone to tell me .. what will suuit me... Sourskittle.. you decided on any? I really like the allenora light smokey eyes makeup.. but not sure if it wll suit my eyes and i dont wana keep dong trial makeup and spend money :(

I am going to aroushi and see what they offer.. and still on the lookout for Allure's phone number as the one i have is always busy! so is The haven-depilex.

Thanks ladies.. keep info coming!

heyyy indylady
Zodiac's trial is free so you got nothing to lose!
I've done a makeup course from MAC, so I can tell you don't opt for very heavy smokey eyes for your eye shape, you'll need a bit of colour on your lids (even a brozne for instance) and well defined liner, can I ask what colour your dress is?

I recommend you try Zodiac, and btw The Haven-Depilex is closed, their makeup artist Taani does freelance makeup, don't have her number though sorry!

Another option:
Gulnaz Nejmi
www.themakeovermansion.com

Sorry I’m not able to upload pics today for some reason!

Cool.. will try zodiac!!

thanks for the advice.. looking at makeovermansion :D

Forgot to mention.. the shaad dress is red in color :)
how about you?
when you gettng married? decided on the venue?

Re: Makeup artists update - Dubai

the allenora in dubai is not the one by aliya tipu but the one by annie mansoor. i had asked aliya tipu as well but she said she charges AED 3000 and we have to pay for her ticket as well!

i called allure and they said they charge 1500! has anyone tried that place?

aroushi is alright except that my personal experience with them wasnt very good for my engagement! i admit, it was my mistake to stress on avoiding the cakey look, which made me look a tone or two darker than my original tone. while many complimented it, i personally was not satisfied! it was the party make up i had opted for, perhaps the bridal is better, but i personally am too disheartened to go back there! another issue i had was with my hair, she was curling it up with the iron and she literally burnt my hair! when i was opening my curls at night i cud feel the hair break down into ashes, i had to eventually lay out a newspaper and open up the curls as the burnt hair fell down in bits and ashes, i even cried, it was that severe!

does anybody have any pics they cud share from zodiac? do the free trials apply only when u book the bridal package? where is it located?

Hey thanks for the allure info. can you pass me their number? the one I have always is busy.

well 1500 isnt bad as compared to 2000-2500..i am looking for something 1000dhs..

umm thanks for letting me know about aroushi... probably will skip it then.. because i have damaged hair and dont wanan risk anythng!

well zodiac doesn't charge trial makeup.. so might go there... and seee...will keep you posted!

more updates
Called allure- 2000
called depilex- busy tone
called honeymoon salon n satwa-- they have bridal pkg of dhs 1600.. it is superb.... but in-salon.. i would have gone there if someone takes responsibility of pckng and dropping me from there.. whch i dont.. so looking for at venue artists..

but they do a good job on makeup bcoz my sis had hers done.

Zodiac-- too far.. so skipping on that...

depilex closed down aaaages ago!
their artist taani just does freelance now, charges 2500dhs

also, Zodiac will come to where you are! that's what I heard anyways...

don't go for Allure, my friend had her makeup done from there and she looked TERRIBLE, white foundation, no contouring, badly blended eyemakeup, I wouldnt recommend at ALL!

nope havent decided an artist yet, nor a venue!! everythings so frikkin expensive here, madinat jumeirah, royal mirage etc are 350dhs a head, grand hyatt is 290 a head, reasonable right now is murooj rotana at 200 a head.. and their ballroom and food is really good, seems a decent choice!
what abt u?
